I didn't know the Browns are getting a new stadium called Huntington Bank Field.
Any chance this will affect the naming rights for our Huntington Bank Stadium?
For me, the name has never fit since TCF was no longer used. Even their green colors do not fit.
I think there is still over 10 years on the contract. Would they be willing to sell the rights to a local presence? Is that allowable?
My perfect scenario would be for Dairy Queen to step up. Dilly Bar Dan could christen the stadium.

It's a shame we couldn't have called our new stadium Bierman Memorial Stadium from the beginning.
 

Huntington is headquartered in Columbus. Makes perfect sense they'd be the lead sponsor on the new Browns stadium.

They purchased TCF, which was obviously based here, and that's why they even have the rights in the first place, as well as why you now see Huntington bank branches around the Cities when they were never here before.


Similarly to why Wells Fargo has such a big presence in the TC, even though it is based in San Francisco. They purchased Norwest which was TC.

Used to be some big banking based in the Cities. Still have Thrivent

The Browns’ CURRENT stadium was named Huntington Bank Field last year, so that clearly hasn’t impacted our stadium’s name.

Yeah....The companies buy the naming rights for advertising....they want multiple stadiums out there with their name on it.
 



I feel like a lot of companies are sitting out the stadium naming rights game right now.

Grand Casino Arena would be an example of major companies not wanting to pay the cash for it.

Mercedes Benz had the Superdome and the Georgia dome recently. I think the Superdome is now sponsored by Caesars.

Not to nitpick but NW and WF was a merger "of equals" with NW leadership surviving hut like nearly all such transactions involving MN based organizations, the HQ moved out of state.

On one hand, the stadium naming rights were given away for a song. On the other, the market for naming rights seems to have dried up some.

I'm not sure but I think Honeywell was like this too? They even kept the Honeywell name. But of course, moved out
